dnp INTRODUCES SUPERNOVA EPIC CS CURVED SCREEN

Improved Uniformity Enhances the Cinema Experience

By Gary Reber


dnp, the world leader in optical projection screen
technology recently introduced the dnp Supernova Epic CS, which incorporates
a perfectly curved screen with optical front projection screen technology.

“The dnp Supernova Epic and Epic CS are the ultimate front projection
screens for home theater applications,” says Senior US Executive Manfred
Freiberger. “The Epic CS combines all the attributes of the Supernova Epic
but without the electronically controlled masking system. The perfectly
curved screen enhances the perceived depth and uniformity of the image,
resulting in the ultimate viewing experience – a movie theater in your home.
The curvature of the screen also eliminates pincushion distortion caused by
a combination of wide images and use of an anamorphic projector lens.”

The Epic CS supports all video formats including the ultra-wide Cinemascope
2.40:1. dnp’s ISF approved front projection optical technology features
high-contrast filters that enable the projected image to be optimally
reflected from the screen, while effectively deflecting ambient light and
absorbing
overhead light. The result is an enhanced image that is two-times
brighter, and provides up to seven-times higher contrast ratio than
conventional screens.

Supernova Epic CS uses an active optical technology that is made up of seven
high-tech layers. The screen forms an optical “sandwich” designed to enhance
the image for optimum viewing in high ambient and low light environments. A
special neutral black tint has been added to the screen material to produce
deeper blacks, vivid colors and excellent neutral gray scale reproduction.

The Supernova Epic CS is available in screen sizes from 96-inches to
156-inches, and offers accessories including a wall mount and an optional
floor stand. The 96” screen has an MRSP of $8,248.00USD.

dnp Supernova offers a variety of screen options and sizes including the
Supernova Infinity, which allows you to create a large-screen display of
almost unlimited size, and the Supernova Panorama has a seamless width of up
to 33-feet. Supernova One offers screen sizes of up to 120-inches, and the
cost-effective Supernova™ Core offers screen sizes of up to
153-inches. The
motorized SupernovaÔ Flex rolls up at the touch of a button into a ceiling
or wall mount and is available in screens of up to 120-inches. The
SupernovaÔ Mobile is ideal for situations where space is at a premium and
where a permanent fixture is not desirable. For home theater applications
the perfectly curved Epic and Epic CS provide the ultimate Cinemascope
experience, and are available in sizes from 96 to 156-inches.

With corporate headquarters located in Karlslunde, Denmark, dnp is
represented in the United States by MCF Marketing, who maintains a sales,
service and distribution center in Irvine, California. dnp denmark is the
world’s leading supplier of optical front and rear projection screens for
